Pilates Reformer Exercise Basics

Are you looking for a basic Pilates Reformer Exercise?  Here is a nice and easy exercise to start with.  Make sure you take a quick look at the embedded YouTube video too.

First, lie on your again on the reformer machine. Bend your knees, permitting your feet to rest flat on the reformer bar and place your arms at your sides on the carriage of the equipment.

Allow your knees to chill out open approximately hip-width apart and position your ankles together while pointing your toes out. Unwind your shoulders down to the reformer platform and lengthen your again so that it really is long and straight.

Engage your abdominal muscle tissue in preparation to start your pilates exercises. Breathe in and press your legs against the reformer bar, straightening your body. Exhale and chill out, bending at the knees and allowing your entire body to come again to very first position. Breathe in and push, breathe out and bend at the knees.

This is something that you can repeat over and over again.  I like to do this 8-10 times holding within the abdominal muscle tissue to develop the core muscle tissue. This is a great workout for everyone; however, it is specially helpful for those with lower again again issues, hip injuries or after giving birth as it helps to strengthen and stabilize the pelvis.

If you really need a jump start at working out on the pilates reformer machine, then take a look at this Stott Pilates at home work out DVD.
